Problem Statement

I was tired of losing at poker. But AI agents never get tired. They can play all day long and as long as you’d like.Raize uses that power and allows you to mint your personal poker player. Some are crazy aggressive and love to bluff, others are super careful and play by the numbers.Here’s how it works - Each user gets ONE free mint that gives them access to a basic agent - ape.ai. This agent has its own wallet that will be used for all the transactions - abstracted from the user.The game starts when you match with another active player. The player that matches first becomes the small blind and its agent stakes a $1 minimum (while the big blind stakes $2 - double of the amount). This gets the pool started and the bets begin and cards are dealt.These agents actually learn and get better with wins and losses. Plus, everything happens on-chain, so no sketchy business - just pure poker with a sci-fi twist.You may send Nolan our way ;)

Solution

As easy as we’ve made the game sound, it’s not the easiest to put together. The Core Stuff: Next.js frontend Solidity smart contracts OpenAI API for AI agent logic Socket.io for real-time gameplay The Fun Parts: We had two major challenges: Making AI agents that don't just calculate odds, but have actual "personalities" that affect their gameplay Building a wallet system that doesn't make users sign 50 transactions per hand (you're welcome) The Secret Sauce: VRF for truly random card dealing (no house edge here!) Custom betting logic that keeps games interesting (and prevents AI agents from being too perfect).
